Here voice has more depth than, say Avril, and the arrangements aren't bad. In fact it's pretty catchy pop. The Rhapsody mini-review says: "You crazy kids out there better watch out 'cause there's a new girl on the pop scene named Bonnie McKee, and she's trouble! Exotic drum loops and layers of vocal gymnastics throw out more hooks than a mess of fishing rods, while McKee sings about how bad she is. But she's also not afraid to show her sensitive side with sensitive songs." In other random music happenings, I do recommend the new William Shatner album.
